The moment Jie Yueling finished speaking, the temperature in the room plummeted.

In this tiny room, no one made any particular move, but anyone could deliver a fatal blow to their opponent.

Before a decisive battle, the truly oppressive moment wasn't being surrounded by enemies, nor was it a life-or-death confrontation.

It was not knowing when the battle would erupt!

I looked at Jie Yueling with a sardonic smile. "What did you bring us here for, after all your painstaking efforts? Is it because that child didn't die, or because he wasn't Tan Lang (Greedy Wolf) at all!"

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a loud crash outside the door.

The space that had been sealed off by the power of ghosts and gods was blasted open by brute force. Ye Mei walked in step by step from outside the courtyard, the power of ghosts and gods dancing wildly around her. With each step she took, the surrounding air pressure dropped. After she took three steps, the space beneath the tomb was on the verge of collapse.

I gripped the hilt of my sabers. "Lin Zhao, keep a close eye on those two from the Jie family for me. Kill them if you can't capture them, especially Jie Sanbao."

Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what I meant.

At this point, Jie Yueling would definitely try to use Ye Mei to kill me.

Among us, only Jie Yueling knew the whereabouts of that child from back then, and that was her biggest trump card. And I, unfortunately, had no way to stop Ye Mei from acting.

Sorcerers could indeed deceive ghosts and gods, but that required long preparation and careful planning, like everything in Erlin Town, which was a scheme by sorcerers to deceive ghosts and gods.

Without any preconditions or arrangements, I couldn't possibly stop a crazed ghost god.

Sure enough, Jie Yueling said, "If you kill them, I'll tell you where that child is. I won't go back on my word."

Ye Mei hesitated slightly, and Jie Yueling said again, "This is your last chance. You're a ghost god, you should be able to tell if I'm telling the truth, right?"

Before Jie Yueling could finish speaking, my double sabers were already out of their sheaths.

If we were going to fight, we had to strike first.

The black and white saber lights stirred up ghostly wails, heading straight for Ye Mei's head. The instant the double sabers were swung, the saber light spread out, like a waterfall from the underworld, relentlessly slashing down at the ghost god.

Ye Mei simply raised her hands, and the formless power of the ghost god held my double sabers in mid-air. The continuous saber light slashed wildly in the void, inches away from Ye Mei's palms.

Sparks flew like snow as the blades collided with divine power, but my two curved sabers couldn't advance an inch.

While Ye Mei held my long sabers with her right hand, she slowly raised her left hand and pushed it towards my abdomen. As her sharp fingers, like daggers, pierced towards my dantian (energy center), Jun Jixue's Miao sword also arrived.

"Jun Wei (Royal Might)!"

Royal Might suppresses ghosts and gods!

Before Jun Jixue's long sword arrived, Ye Mei stood frozen on the spot under the awe-inspiring pressure.

"Kill!" As my double sabers merged, the saber light soared, and the Di Sha (Earthly Fiend) Blood Qi rose in response. The ghost god was terrified. As the two curved sabers struck Ye Mei's palms one after another, the tip of Jun Jixue's sword also collided with Ye Mei's fingertips.

Even though Ye Mei was a ghost god, she was forced back several steps by the combined power of our sabers.

Without any prior communication, Jun Jixue and I completed our first coordinated attack.

However, neither of us paused for even a moment, and we pounced on the retreating Ye Mei again.

At the same time, Ye Yang's long sword pointed at Tao Hua (Peach Blossom), who was sitting in the coffin. "Don't move!"

Ye Yang was on guard against Tao Hua.

Tao Hua and Ye Mei were of the same kind. These twin ghost gods were like sisters.

When there were no outsiders around, they might have conflicts, even minor squabbles, but once an external enemy appeared, they would immediately unite and fight together against the common enemy.

Tao Hua, who was holding onto the coffin, said coldly when she saw Ye Yang's sword stance, "You dare point your sword at a ghost god? Do you know the consequences? Get down!"

Before Tao Hua could finish speaking, Ye Yang's sword stance had already been unleashed.

Ye Yang's sword seemed ordinary, but it sealed off all of his opponent's escape routes.

Like a sword that shattered the void, with each inch it advanced, its power increased by a point.

When the long sword was pushed forward by three inches, the air surged within a ten-meter radius. At first glance, it looked as if space was distorted and deformed under the blade. What was being pushed out by that sword was not sword qi (energy), but the entire space being pressed towards the opponent.

I later learned that it was a move that Ye Yang had comprehended from the twelve sword bones, which he himself named "Ba Jian Shi Er (Overlord Sword Twelve)."

Ye Yang used the first sword.

At that time, he didn't have the ability to mobilize the power of space with a single sword; it only looked like he was distorting space.

However, the momentum created by that sword was enough to shock people.

When Ye Yang's long sword was about three meters away from Tao Hua, Tao Hua's coffin shattered inch by inch under the pressure of the sword stance. The shattered coffin wood was pushed back by the sword qi, and the veil on Tao Hua's face was also pressed tightly against her face by the pressure of the sword qi.

In the next instant, Tao Hua raised both palms and pushed them towards Ye Yang at the same time.

The power of the ghost god and the domineering sword qi collided in mid-air, and an earth-shattering roar erupted in the small space.

Ye Yang's body didn't move, but his long hair and white clothes flew backward.

Tao Hua, however, was pushed towards the corner along with half of her coffin.

Ye Yang said in a deep voice, "You are not Tao Hua!"
